Player Defensive Rankings

Which real life statistic determines a players defensive ability in OOTP baseball? Is it "fiellding percentage" , "defensive runs saved" or something else? What makes a player a defensive rating a 10 as opposed to a defensive rating of 5?

They use a combination of Arm, range, error rate, and turn DP for infielders, error rate, range, and arm for outfielders, and framing, blocking (catcher ablility) and arm for catchers. Catcher errors go in there somewhere too, but I'm not sure where.
